TLDR
Three models of physiological emotion specificity were compared and Planned multivariate comparisons between physiological profiles established discriminant validity for fear and anger in the real-life context, whereas under imagery, emotion profiles were essentially equal.Abstract:
The convergent and discriminant validity of three models of physiological emotion specificity were compared, Forty-two female students served as subjects in a 2 (Context of emotional inductions: real-life, imagery) × 3 (Emotion: fear, anger, control) + 1 (Happiness induced in real-life context) repeated measures design. The dependent measures included self-reports of emotion, Gottschalk-Gleser affect scores, back and forearm extensor EMG activity, body movements, heart period, respiration period, skin conductance, skin temperatures, pulse transit time, pulse volume amplitude, and blood volumes. Self-report data confirmed the generation of affective states in both contexts, as intended. Planned multivariate comparisons between physiological profiles established discriminant validity for fear and anger in the real-life context, whereas under imagery, emotion profiles were essentially equal. Convergent validity could not be substantiated. Implications for models of physiological specificity of emotion were discussed.read more

An argument for basic emotions
TL;DR: This work has shown that not only the intensity of an emotion but also its direction may vary greatly both in the amygdala and in the brain during the course of emotion regulation.

Does Positive Affect Influence Health
Sarah D. Pressman,Sheldon Cohen +1 more
TL;DR: This review highlights consistent patterns in the literature associating positive affect (PA) and physical health and raises serious conceptual and methodological reservations, but suggests an association of trait PA and lower morbidity and of state and traitPA and decreased symptoms and pain.

Acoustic profiles in vocal emotion expression.
Rainer Banse,Klaus R. Scherer +1 more
TL;DR: Findings on decoding replicate earlier findings on the ability of judges to infer vocally expressed emotions with much-better-than-chance accuracy, including consistently found differences in the recognizability of different emotions.

Measures of emotion: A review
TL;DR: There is no “gold standard” measure of emotional responding, and experiential, physiological, and behavioural measures are all relevant to understanding emotion and cannot be assumed to be interchangeable.

A meta-analysis of 25 years of mood-creativity research: Hedonic tone, activation, or regulatory focus?
TL;DR: This meta-analysis synthesized 102 effect sizes reflecting the relation between specific moods and creativity revealing that positive moods produce more creativity than mood-neutral controls, and negative, deactivating moods were not associated with creativity, but negative, activating moods with an avoidance motivation and a prevention focus were associated with lower creativity.

Convergent and discriminant validation by the multitrait-multimethod matrix.
TL;DR: This transmutability of the validation matrix argues for the comparisons within the heteromethod block as the most generally relevant validation data, and illustrates the potential interchangeability of trait and method components.

Emotional processing of fear : exposure to corrective information
Edna B. Foa,Michael J. Kozak +1 more
TL;DR: Mechanisms that govern the processing of emotional information, particularly those involved in fear reduction, are proposed and applications to therapeutic practice and to the broader study of psychopathology are discussed.

Autonomic nervous system activity distinguishes among emotions
TL;DR: Emotion-specific activity in the autonomic nervous system was generated by constructing facial prototypes of emotion muscle by muscle and by reliving past emotional experiences, and distinguished not only between positive and negative emotions, but also among negative emotions.

A Bio‐Informational Theory of Emotional Imagery
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of emotional imagery is described which conceives the image in the brain to be a conceptual network, controlling specific somatovisceral patterns, and constituting a prototype for overt behavioral expression.
